I find PMK negatives easy to print. If the stain is adding too much contrast, that's an indication of overdevelopment.

Pyrogallol is slightly toxic so you may want to wear gloves while processing with it.

I've been using PMK for 11 years now and it's one of my favourite developers. It works well, and the stock solutions last for years.

A bunch of Nikons; Feds, Zorkis and a Kiev; Pentax 67-II (inherited from my deceased father-in-law); Bronica SQ-A; and a nice Shen Hao 4x5 field camera with 3 decent lenses that needs to be taken outside more. Oh, and as of mid-2012, one of those bodies we don't talk about here.
